Long Island storms can lift and damage siding. Summer sun can make vinyl siding brittle, leading to cracks and breaks that can let in insects and vermin. Warped siding can allow rain to get in, leading to water damage. And while modern siding is durable, it wears out over time and needs replacement.
Damaged siding does more than simply make your house look unattractive. It poses a real threat to the integrity of your home’s exterior. Siding protects your home against the elements. Damaged siding compromises that protection.

Here are some siding problems that require immediate attention from a siding professional. If left ignored, damaged siding panels can lead to structural damage that will require extensive and costly construction work.
You’ll find many tutorials showing you how to repair your own siding. But a badly repaired siding project can leave you worse off than you were when you started. Siding panels can warp, buckle, or crack if they are poorly fitted or nailed too tightly. If you have fiber cement siding, you need specialized tools and skills for repairs.
We often find ourselves fixing siding damage caused by botched repairs. Sometimes the homeowner attempted a DIY job that was over their paygrade. Sometimes an incompetent or unscrupulous contractor made the situation worse. There are no

Modern siding manufacturers design their siding with UV resistance. But with every Long Island summer season that resistance wears down. In time, your siding’s once bright colors become faded and muddy.
The side of your house with the greatest sun exposure will generally be the one where you see the greatest fading. If your other exposures are largely shaded, you may see little or no fading to your siding panels.
Faded panels do more than hurt your home’s curb appeal. In addition to fading, extended UV exposure can make vinyl siding panels brittle.
Summer is a great time for grilling. But if you put your grill too close to your siding, you can wind up with siding burns. The heat from the grill can scorch, warp, or even melt vinyl siding panels. In the worst cases, it can even lead to house fires.
We handle several of these siding repairs every summer. The best way to avoid siding scorch marks is to keep your grill at a safe distance from your patio. If you have already scorched your siding, call a siding contractor immediately.
If you only have a little bit of damage to a few panels, you may be able to replace those damaged panels. But if your siding is more than a few decades old or if you find you are constantly dealing with siding damage and breakage, siding replacement is your best bet.
Replacing your old siding can be a cost-effective home improvement project. Today’s vinyl siding offers better insulation and durability than older vinyl panels. You also have siding options like fiber cement. Fiber cement mimics the look of wood siding but is resistant to fire, impacts, pests, and water damage.
For even more savings, talk with your insurance company. Many homeowner’s policies will offer discounts for installations of rugged quality siding. They have found that fire-resistant materials that hold up to wear and tear result in less insurance claims over the long term.
Ultimately, the choice of whether to replace or continue repairing your siding is up to you. If you’re unsure, talk to our customer service team for a free quote. One of our agents will speak with you about your home and any siding issues they encounter. They will let you know your options and discuss the different types of siding available.
